Firewall

HI

I am new to this product and Linux. I would like to install a Firewall, is there one reccomended by Virtualmin and if so, how do I install it. It would nice if it has a graphical interface.

I am worried about hackers and attacks as I do have some contraversial websites being hosted for some of my clients.

Regards

Yamin

There was a thread about this just two weeks ago:

http://www.virtualmin.com/node/17886

A forum search for "firewall" will reveal more relevant threads.

Most of the time, "hacks" occur due to vulnerabilities in the used software (webserver, website scripts etc.), and those cannot be avoided by installing a firewall, but only by performing regular updates and using secure configurations.
